The video, dated Aug. 15, 2020, offered few clues. The speech was not delivered in a typical hotel ballroom or conference center. The rustic wood of the structure suggested a barn, but nothing about where

Look @TeresaCCarter2 😬

The barn is in Lancaster Township and is owned by Charles Bausman, LNP|LancasterOnline confirmed in September, more than a year after the rally.

The clue came in the form of photos and videos posted to two social media accounts. The images were shot on Jan. 3, 2021, showing a church service led by Hyung Jin "Sean" Moon, the head of the Rod of Iron Ministries, which has a church in Wayne County.

Careful comparison of the Jan. 3 images with the video of the Peinovich speech revealed patterns of the barn’s wood that matched.

A more sophisticated comparison of the Peinovich video with existing photos of the exterior of the Bausman barn also confirmed the match.

Bausman when asked if the rally was held in his barn, said no. But on Oct. 19, an LNP reporter informed Bausman that photo analysis proved he had lied, Bausman conceded he allowed Peinovich and the National Justice Party to use the barn and that he attended portions of the event.

Bausman, 57, grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and spent some of his childhood overseas, including years when his father was a journalist working in Moscow.
